"Hey it's the podcast guy!" He uses the same grown-up crazed voice to play a 12 year old kid in the cartoon Big Mouth. The other characters all use their grown-up voices too, but they don't sound like crazed 40 year old men.

Eventually. When he first shows up he's an absurd annoying cartoon that doesn't fit at all, but the show catches up to him by his next few appearances.

Mark Evans Jackson is in all three too. (the only lawyer in Pawnee, Kevin, Shawn). Kristen Bell has a couple guest spots in P&R too as Leslie's Eagletonian version. I hope Rob Lowe shows up as the opposite version of Trevor.

Alison Becker (reporter Shauna Malwae-Tweep) and Maribeth Monroe (the head of the IOW who gives Ron the Dorothy Everton-Smythe award) also make appearances, although Becker is weirdly uncredited.

What the gently caress is a tick tock man outside of that?

Krispy Wafer posted:The Good Place will be a show taught in screenwriting classes on taking what seems to be a quirky, but limited idea and somehow turning it into 3 seasons of the best 30 minute television in a decade. I keep on thinking they're write themselves into a plot corner and then the show will stagnant but it never happens. The best part is that even though it seems like they have so little, they don't piss around to fill time. There's so many times where a lesser show could've milked an idea for several episodes or a whole season, but The Good Place knows when to wrap poo poo up and move on. I had a bunch of examples typed out, but I'm gonna go with everyone else and just avoid anything remotely spoilerish because this show is so good cold.

Worth mentioning The Good Place podcast, which discusses each episode with a different crew member (actors, writers, VFX, set designers, costume designers, etc). It's hosted by William Jackson Harper who plays Shawn. It's really interesting.

The new Halloween has some good stuff: ”You must be the new Loomis” The callback to the first movie when Laurie looks over the balcony, sees Michael on the ground, looks away and he’s gone is done perfectly. Also, the in-movie explanation of the new timeline is handled in just a couple lines and it’s much better than spending forever trying to tie it all together. All in all, I enjoyed it.

It really helps that it's a story-driven comedy that only has about half as many episodes per season as other comedies in its format. More shows (of all genres) could benefit from smaller, tighter seasons.

I missed that one. A couple more: The white sheet/ghost costume on the dead babysitter. Laurie coming out of the shadow behind Micheal. The gas station being the same as part 2. Allyson looking out the classroom window and seeing Laurie just like Laurie saw Michael in part 1.

I'm completely caught up with The Good Place. It's interesting straight after Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because the latter is an indepth look at personality disorders through the eyes of a case study, the former is an in depth exploration of Ethics, Existentialism and Eschatology. I like that each season changes the formula completely, similarly again to Crazy Ex.

Please tag your The Good Place spoilers--I'm someone else who petered out halfway through the first season and just never got around to watching the rest. (Only some of it was on On Demand at the time, and by the time it hit Netflix, we had a lot of other stuff to watch.)

Something about the Good Place: I asked my dad if he'd seen it, and he said that he hasn't but he knew "The twist", which is hilarious because that twist is small potatoes compared to where the later seasons go. He knows maybe 10% of the plot.

So an unrelated cute little thing from a related sitcom, Brooklyn 99. In one episode of season 5, they bring back a gag from season 1, of Jake trying to break someone during an interrogation by playing a guitar badly and screaming. It's an extremely unsubtle joke, with a bit of an edge that as an audience we know Andy Samberg is a known musician. But I just found a Youtube video that put them right next to each other, and realized something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb8BCNPRrCM&t=190s (At 3:10 if it doesn't go there) Jake got better at guitar!

They don't detect all of them, it seems. I've been using one to claim Americanism to watch The Flash. Of the four US regions it offers, three of them are picked up as VPNs, but not the fourth for some reason.

Earth is a prison meant to keep Ohio away from the rest of the universe. Neil Armstrong is an asymptomatic carrier and doomed all life, everywhere, because he broke containment. And Skyline Chili still manages to be worse.
